Timburr is an astounding Physical Sweeper. It's meant to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. White Herb will reset Timburr's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Superpower). Focus Sash helps protect Timburr from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Flame Orb will burn Timburr at the end of the turn which will activate Timburr's Guts ability. Use Detect or Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Guts, if Timburr is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Timburr a sweet boost.
